Self-Sacrifice : Is It Possible?
I’ve known myself to be a helpful individual (have to work on that humility side ^^…) since time immemorial. My helping hands come naturally, i don’t know why, but it does. Simply put, i like helping people, and it satisfies me so. But when we talk about altruism, i couldn’t help but wonder: am i altruistic? What drives a person to be a saint and help others in pain?
Yes, yes. Another philosophical hoo-haa. But what is Altruism, for those who want to understand, i’ll tell you. It is the simple act of helping others for no personal benefit whatsoever. DING-DONG. As if that wasn’t easy enough. Actually, it gets tougher from there.
Say, you want to help someone. Some cute girl dropped her (ehm) keys, and sure, you’d want to help her. Altruism? Wait a minute. Why are you helping the girl again? Three reasons that i know of, and not just those three. One, to show off (well since its a girl or a boy in your preference "YAOIMUSTDIE"…!) Kinda like this… > http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/itsuki51/konoheaven.gif well you know what i mean. There is a goddam reason why you’re helping an individual, and most likely it’s for your own satisfaction.
Philathropists. Helpful, Yes. Humble, hell no. Ever heard of the Walt Disney Foundation? Or the Don Something-something public school of martial arts? Helping others, even at any cost, if marred by self-gratification, is not altruism still. Then, what is true altruism?
It doesn’t exist. Once, Jesus did, but no more. Because we all have reasons why we help somebody. To fill our spiritual bucket. To look good in front of people. To leave a legacy that says, we, are helpful and are heroes. To win the heart of that person. But to help just so thinking the person would be happy, no. Find it deep in your hearts, you know its true. It is to hell impossible to give mercy and not want anything in return.
But don’t lose faith in goodwill and mercy. It may be true to a sense the things i said, but be assured, as long you are helping people, at least the thought of providing them with a better life is what counts. Believe me, i know, i understood this truth just earlier. It doesn’t matter believe me.
You are the best person in the world, because you are you. Everyone understands it quite well, and matters not what you want to be. Spread your own light into this dark world, and be altruistic, to a sense ^^.
